The effects of a phenomenon called tree masting on ecosystems and food webs can be better understood thanks to new theoretical models validated by real world observations. Some species of trees go ...

Urban trees represent valuable renewable biomass sources, but traditional allometric equations inadequately capture structural variability in urban environments. Therefore, considering tree structure ...

Data from field measurement of 600 sample plots in the study area were summarized before and after the windstorm in March 2018. ARC MAP 9.3 software was used to spatially locate the sample plots on ...

The Monitoring, Analysis and Modeling area of study focuses on the application of statistical and operations research methods and techniques used to sample, describe and predict how individual trees, ...

"Most climate models project an increase in lightning frequency in the coming decades, so it's worth paying closer attention to this largely overlooked disturbance," says Krause. "Currently, lightning ...

A new study reveals that oak trees can keep photosynthesizing for months after growth ends, challenging assumptions about how effectively forests convert absorbed carbon into long-term storage.

The Data Science Lab Binary Classification Using a scikit Decision Tree Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research says decision trees are useful for relatively small datasets and when the trained ...

Decision trees are useful for relatively small datasets that have a relatively simple underlying structure, and when the trained model must be easily interpretable, explains Dr. James McCaffrey of ...
